I didn't have many of the advertising strips that are at the bottom of Kaisercraft's papers so I had to come up with an alternative. I'd recently bought the Turtledove paper pack at our local garden centre and in the front of the packet was an advertising sheet which showed all the papers inside, photographed in miniature. So I cut this into strips, restuck them together on a piece of scrap paper and then cut them into squares to create a stripy, patchwork layout.

As the Turtledove patterns were now in miniature, you couldn't necessarily see that they were Christmas themed but the colours were perfect for a vintage themed page.
I used an image of my great uncles in the military uniform during the First World War and included a hidden piece of journalling on a pull out tag where the date is.

I hope you like this idea - its really thrifty and allows you to get the most out of your kits and packaging whilst still having the benefit of the lovely Kaisercraft colours and designs.
Thanks for looking! Why not come up with your own recycling ideas and pop over to the Merly Impressions blog and join the challenge.
Bye for now

About Me

From a young age I've always loved making things whether it be from my own imagination or 'upgrading' Blue Peter creations! As I've got older I've enjoyed capturing different events in my life through scrapbooking as well as making cards and learning new techniques with the whole host of products that are now on the market. Like any crafter, I'm addicted to crafty shopping and love reading other people's blogs and marvelling at their fabulous designs and inspiring creations.
